Unlocking Effective Boundaries: Karilyn Ivers Tracy’s Top Tips

Your boundaries aren't working because you think they're supposed to do something that they're not even designed to do.
Struggling to set boundaries with a partner dealing with addiction? You're not alone. In this episode of 'Your Partner’s Addiction', Certified Life Coach Karilyn Ivers Tracy breaks down the top three reasons why your boundaries might be failing and offers practical solutions to make them stick. Forget the myth that boundaries don't work with addicted individuals.
Karilyn explains that the key lies in understanding what boundaries truly are: they’re not about changing your partner's behavior but about creating a personal safety plan that you commit to enforcing every time a boundary is crossed. She highlights the difference between a safety plan and an ultimatum, stressing the importance of consistency and follow-through. Using real-life examples from her coaching practice, Karilyn shares how effective boundary-setting can transform relationships and provide much-needed emotional stability.
If you’ve been frustrated by ineffective boundaries, this episode offers clear, actionable advice to help you reclaim control and foster healthier interactions. Tune in for insights that could make all the difference in your journey towards a balanced and supportive relationship.
